@johnstaples Yes it is confusing, but I think you have it all right. Technically I think both topics and replies are posts. Everything seems to be a post in Wordpress. If you go into a new Forum and create a topic with a post, and someone replies with another post, the main Forum page will show 1 topic and 2 posts.
I found the Forum > Structure screen had big clues, when you see the controls for “Delete Category” and “Delete Forum”. Then in the front end, when you open a forum, you have a button for New Topic, and when you go into a topic, a button to Reply.
